No. During landfall, the increased friction over land acts -
somewhat contradictory - to both decrease the sustained winds and also
to increase the gusts felt at the surface (Powell and Houston 1996). The sustained (1 min or
longer average) winds are reduced because of the dampening
effect of larger roughness over land (i.e. bushes, trees
and houses over land versus a relatively smooth ocean). The gusts are
stronger because turbulence increases and acts to bring faster winds
down to the surface in short (a few seconds) bursts.

However, after just a few hours, a tropical cyclone over land will
begin to weaken rapidly - not because of friction - but because
the storm lacks the the moisture and heat sources that the
ocean provided. This depletion of moisture and heat hurts the
tropical cyclone's ability to produce thunderstorms near the
storm center. Without this convection,the storm rapidly fills.

An early numerical simulation
(Tuleya and Kurihara 1978) had shown that a hurricane
making landfall over a very moist region (i.e. mainly swamp) so
that surface evaporation is unchanged, intensification may
result. However, a more recent study
(Tuleya 1994) that has a more realistic treatment of
surface conditions found that even over a swampy area a
hurricane would weaken because of limited heat sources. Indeed,
nature conducted this experiment during Andrew as the hurricane
traversed the very wet Everglades, Big Cypress and Corkscrew
Swamp areas of southwest Florida. Andrew weakened dramatically:
peak winds decreased about 33% and the sea level pressure in
the eye rose 19 mb
(Powell and Houston 1996).
